Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

About the Program

The Bachelor of Arts programme in Philosophy attempts to understand the nature, thinking and acting of human beings. From this comprehensive basic idea, it is initially not a specialised science; it is free to turn to the most different issues and areas. Students thus need strong language comprehension skills as well their own linguistic precision and the ability to think in an abstract way. Apart from philosophical prior knowledge, a sound basic knowledge of history, ethics and history of religion make the initial stage of program easier. This program is part of the Joint Bachelor of Arts in Subjects X and Y, which allows to combine two different subjects/components.
